FirstEnergy is reminding customers to fill the air with love, not helium-filled balloons this Valentine’s Day. While foil balloons have increased in popularity as party and drive-by celebration decorations, they continue to cause many power outages because their metallic coating conducts electricity and poses a risk to the electric system.
Balloon-related power outages spiked across FirstEnergy’s footprint by 25% in 2020.
Please take the time to watch the video in the attached article on the FirstEnergy webpage: https://t.co/YDstFWOBRQ
Happy Valentine's Day!
